President Obama's Actions

I take exception to the "We're all Americans" letter of Feb. 16, asserting President Obama has done more for this country in two weeks than Bush did in eight years.

After President Obama promised to have the most ethical Cabinet ever, he selects as his treasury secretary, a man who cheated on his taxes but is now the guy who will hammer us if we make a mistake on our tax returns.

The president also promised that there would be no lobbyists in his Cabinet, but selected William Lynn, top lobbyist for Raytheon to be deputy defense secretary.

Eric Holder, attorney general, holds the distinction of having reviewed and approved President Clinton's pardon of Marc Rich, charged with 51 counts of fraud, tax evasion and illegally trading with Iran.

So much for "We're all Americans," or perhaps what the letter writer should really have said was, President Obama has done more to this country, rather than for.
